The module "Social Psychology of Decision-Making" explores the origins and dynamics of decisions from the perspective of modern social psychology. Through the analysis of both classic and recent theories and studies, the course provides students with an in-depth psychosocial perspective on how decisions are formed and made within inter-individual and intergroup interactive contexts. In addition to the cognitive processes underlying decision-making, the course also examines the emotional and motivational components that—whether consciously or unconsciously—influence decisions, guide behavior, and shape the psychological consequences of making a decision.
